SPEAKING OF Mills, Orlando lawyer Thom Rumberger, a supporter of Vice President George Bush's presidential campaign, may be a little overconfident about Bush's support in state government. Bush has the support of Gov. Bob Martinez and other GOP officials. But Rumberger probably was stretching it when he sent an invitation to a Bush fund-raiser to Mills' top aide. Mills may be leading a group of people who are searching for a candidate. But they've made it clear the candidate will be a Democrat.
